Quote:Ever been in a situation where items appear in town that none of the players present there have dropped? I'm not talking about duped items here.
Even weirder: I had a game once where I found my character's items (only the ones he had equipped) scattered on the floor of dlvl 3 or 4. Nobody in the game was a cheater (Private game -- a variants game from ages ago -- so I'm quite confident) and nobody'd been to that dlvl. My character had neither died nor dropped his items prior to finding them scattered about.

Haven't seen that. But I've seen Monsters do it. Usually in Hellfire MP, I've seen monsters drop Item A, and soon after a monster drops Item B. Item A morphs into Item B; when either is highlighted, both items highlight. In all cases, one of the items disappears -- still rather weird. My suspicion: Desync between computers regarding which monster should drop what.
Quote:I have been in games where three people join and they can't see eachother before. Figured it was desynch or something.
Hehe, that's really bad desync. In those sorts of games, players usually get an hourglass every few seconds.
Quote:So I guess what I am asking here is whether it is possible to create the "you can't see me but I'm there" situation deliberately ...
Hmm. It can recur but I wouldn't know how to reproduce it deliberately.
